I understand that the tracking on the facelifted E90 is wider than the original cars. Does anyone know how much wider the front and rear track is and what offset wheels should be used (I think the 33 and 35 offset is the most popular for the original E90).

The LCI e90/91 has 8mm wider track on each side, and no change in the front.

So if I were to buy rims in 19 inch 8.5 wide in the front and 9.5 in the rear what are the correct offsets

You'll want to run a slightly more conservative fitment on the LCI. The Non-LCI fitment would be a 9.5 +33 while the LCI would require an offset about 3-5mm higher. Tire sizes can still remain the same.

Sorry i didn't mean to thread jack but thanks. i had ordered ft/rear et 35/43 offsets for 19" wheels on my lci e90 i just wanted to make sure this fitment would 100% work with 235/265 tires bf goodrich kdws. but it seems like im in the safe zone as i had troubles with the rims i have on now for some reason the passenger side rear tires was rubbing on the inside.

So a 19x9.5 et33 wouldn't work on an LCI ??? with a 265 Falken..452 on it with bmw sport suspension

Sorry to bump an old thread but what offset would the wheel guys recommend for an LCI sedan that wants to run a 275/30/19 tire in the rear?

My car has stock suspension and Im undecided if I will lower it. So I guess something that will be safe if lowered maybe an inch or so, and yes I would roll the fenders if needed. I just want a nice flush look, I hate the sunken in look that most stock wheels give.

Well I have seen pics of ET45 on the rear with 275 michelin pilot sport a/s which are a very wide tire and it still seemed a tad inset. It wasn't bad but I just didn't know how far we could go before modifications were needed. I will probably be going with a Nitto Invo tire for reference.
